I live in a town that has become a two-system town and have recently started my own practice with three other physicians. The barriers to doing this are expense, difficulty networking (everyone refers &quot;in-house&quot;), isolation and fear that the big guys will just run you over; very David and Goliath. However, as an emergency physician, I practice in a setting that is comfortable, quiet, soothing for patients and unhurried. We have developed a setting in which we can hear patients tell us their stories, guide them through their problem, and educate them so they understand the road to recovery. I hope that more physicians will choose the independent route!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228012981607314421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747912489328463559.post-30731037518320959972017-04-18T19:39:38.114-07:002017-04-18T19:39:38.114-07:00I&#39;m curious why the independent medical office...I&#39;m curious why the independent medical offices are choosing to be bought or are merging?Veronica Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502020893097031111noreply@blogger.com
